Specify meta-model & XMI parameters for CWM XMI formats

• Key: CWM-1
• Legacy Issue Number: 3899
• Status: closed  
• Source: DSTC ( Stephen Crawley)
• Summary:

  As of XMI 1.1, an XMI format depends on both the input MOF meta-model(s)
  AND some other parameters.

  The CWM specification should state what XMI parameters have been used to
  generate the CWM / XMI interchange formats. In particular, it should
  specify:

  1) what XML namespaces were used

  2) what (if any) "domain data type metamodels" were used, and what
  they are

  3) any custom data value <-> XML string encoding rules used, and

  4) whether the format supports "incomplete models".

  There may be some other XMI parameters that I haven't discovered yet.

  Finally, the CWM spec or an appendix should include the definitive CWM
  meta-model expressed as a MOF / XMI document.

  Without this information, it is difficult for someone other than the
  CWM submitters to instantiate CWM repositories and CWM / XMI interchange
  software.
